Project description
Multidisciplinary action to address impacts of underwater radiated noise
Underwater radiated noise (URN) emitted from commercial ships and other vessels can negatively impact aquatic species and their ecosystems, potentially threatening their survival. The EU-funded SATURN project brings together expertise from disciplines like bioacoustics, maritime engineering, shipping and other fields, to engage stakeholders to develop solutions to the problem of URN. SATURN will examine: i) which sounds pose the greatest threat to aquatic species and how they are produced and propagated; ii) short and long-term effects of URN on invertebrates, fish, and marine mammals; and iii) the most promising options for reducing negative impacts of URN. SATURN will develop and progress standards for terminology and methodology across all disciplines working on URN, producing recommendations for effective underwater sound management.
